⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (5,234 endorsements) — this is a proven, popular tweak.
- Makes the first-year Flower Festival actually winnable, which is a big deal for min-maxers.
- Tiny mod, no bloat — does exactly one thing and does it well.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in January 2022 — might not be compatible with the latest Stardew Valley patches, so check before installing.
- Only affects the Flower Festival — if you're looking for broader relationship tweaks, this won't help.
- No detailed documentation or config options — it's a set-and-forget mod, which is fine but not flexible.
